The fight against impunity has become a growing concern of the
international community. Updated in 2005, the UN Set of Principles
for the Protection and Promotion of Human Rights Through Action to
Combat Impunity is the fruit of several years of study, developed
under the aegis of the UN Commission on Human Rights and then
affirmed by the Human Rights Council. These Principles are today
widely accepted as constituting an authoritative reference point
for efforts in the fight against impunity for gross human rights
abuses and serious violations of international humanitarian law. As
a comprehensive attempt to codify universal accountability norms,
the UN Set of Principles marks a significant step forward in the
debate on the obligation of states to combat impunity in its
various forms. Bringing together leading experts in the field, this
volume provides comprehensive academic commentary of the 38
principles. The book is a perfect companion to the document,
setting out the text of the Principles alongside detailed analysis,
as well as a full introduction and a guide to the relevant
literature and case law. The commentary advances debates and
clarifies complex legal issues, making it an essential resource for
legal academics, students, and practitioners working in fields such
as human rights, international criminal law, and transitional
justice.
